I'm gonna throw in this not yet worn knitted square end tie that I bought to match the jacket and knock off fifty big ones!
Here are a few pics taken just now. Check out the uncreased virginal sleeves and gorgeous gold rayon lining.

If my mother was on this thread she would tell you mean boys that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit!
Nice jacket Vince, as are the two I see you've just posted in the classifieds. Unfortunately I'm a bit bigger than you
Not the update you all want..
Nonetheless, if one of you would like to grab this pearl before I start wearing it it is in the classifieds right now. Jacket season where I am is fast approaching
You're not going to buy it so unless you're here just to troll me.. do feel free to run along like a good lad and let's leave thread policing to the professionals
Thank you for for this earth shattering revelation, which certainly has added a great deal of value to my thread.
If any of you had not realised there are other makers also offerring custom jackets, well, now you know of at least two more! Dare I say it, there may even be others out there...
I'm talking about this one here
https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/naked-hh-good-wear-arcadia.93708/
When it landed it was basically too hot to wear it almost immediately and it still is! So it's barely seen any wear. This is 3oz horsehide which is a little heavier than John's usual...
My thoughts on that jacket are that I've got it in size large in storage unworn and I'd sell it for a hundred pounds plus postage.
From memory I think it fits like a 42. I'm a 40 and it's too big
Then for those who may not be up with all of the history that is absolutely fair enough.
@Readers, Carlos tells it how it is and is neither a fan boy nor an emotional buyer
Relax Carlos. I fully understand your position and I was in no way bring critical. Just thought it was a funny write up
I remember the J100 too. I take you at your word
That first review has made me chuckle. Seems to me you and Dave sorta resemble an old married couple; you can still put up with each other but there's plenty of resentment and familiarity has indeed bred contempt! If he ever discusses customers with other makers I would imagine you are...
@Boyo and @steve u
I don't think it's a difficult one to work out. When John has a jacket to sell be it an unexpected return or prototype etc he looks in his little black book and if there's a customer he knows it'll fit well who he feels/or knows would be interested he offers them first option...
Thanks guys. I was looking at one with a 22 pit to pit that supposedly is a 42. But if Dav's aero with 6inches of wiggle room is a bit tight then I fear that four for me would be too small. Probably is. After all, 22" across is what I expect from a regular 40 with no shearling. I wouldn't mind...
Question for those of you who own sheepskin jackets, a pleasure I am yet to experience myself
If factoring in 15mm thick sheepskin does that mean one should ordinarily look to size up? I'm a 40 inch chest and I'm wondering what sort of external pit to pit I should be looking at here.. not...
Take one complicit customer who will take what he is given, .Throw in one third dan black belt of jacketeering and this is another serene example of just what can happen.
Truly a delight to behold such an outcome. He doesn't exactly need it.. but it might as well be you @jonesy86
Fabulous thread
